The drums are fastened together and rotate as a single unit at their center of mass O. Combined mass of drum is 150 kg, and radius of gyration at O is 450 mm. A constant tension of 1.8 kN is maintained in the cable by the power unit at A.

Marrow_forwardGreek engineers had the unenviable task of moving large columns from the quarries to the city. One engineer, Chersiphron, tried several different techniques to do this. One method was to cut pivot holes into the ends of the stone and then use oxen to pull the column. The 4-ft diameter column weighs 12,000 lbs, and the team of oxen generates a constant pull force of 1500 lbs on the center of the cylinder G. Knowing that the column starts from rest and rolls without slipping, determine (a) the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5 ft, (b) the minimum static coefficient of friction that will keep it from slipping.arrow_forward16.8 A load of lumber weighing W = 25 kN is being raised by a crane.
